Camacho Criollo

The Camacho Criollo, called Camacho Havana prior to 2013, mellows the authentic Corojo tobacco in the binder with the use of Honduran Criollo and Dominican Piloto Cubano in the filler, and a Habano Criollo 1998 4th priming wrapper. The Criollo wrapper is grown by the Eiroa family in the fertile Jamastran Valley of Honduras, a region where perfect soil and ideal climate compare to Cuba's renowned Vuelta Abajo region. If you like Camacho Corojo but want something less powerful from time to time, the Camacho Criollo is for you. Medium to full bodied.

Criollo

Criollo means "native" in Spanish. This tobacco originated in Cuba but is now being cultivated in other countries as seeds have been smuggled out of Cuba.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

Cigar Binder

Corojo

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. Corojo tobacco was first developed in Cuba in the 1930s and quickly became popular as the wrapper on some of the best cigars. By the end of the 90s, Cuba stopped growing Corojo because of its susceptibility to pests and diseases. Ironically, Corojo has since become more popular outside of Cuba, as it has been replicated in tobacco farms in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
